    A Retrospective on Five Years of Podcasting - How and Why we do it

    Before we begin: Apologies for Mike's butchering some of our guests' names in this episode; and I need to correct something I said: I mentioned that Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer is running for office in Ohio; I meant Oklahoma! Big difference, and I apologize for that error. As for this episode: It’s been an incredible journey since we first hit "record" almost five years ago. From candid conversations to insightful interviews, Michael and I reflect on our motivations and memorable moments from our podcasting adventure. Why We Podcast When I was laid up after surgery on my foot, Michael started calling me every day, and I thought that the stuff we were talking about was pretty interesting and I started recording it. Michael adds his own perspective: "Initially I wanted to do the podcast because we as Americans were stifled. We were being denied and told we couldn't use certain words… the idea of having a podcast seemed like a great idea." The podcast has been a platform to voice our thoughts and reach out to others who share our views. Highlights from Five Years Reminiscing about past episodes, I highlight some standout moments, particularly our interview with Jamie Miller during the election night. "He was our first guest, actually, and since then we've been blessed with many great guests." Michael recalls our recent conversation with Dr. Robert Malone, another Nationally known notable figure. We’ve interviewed many influential people, and it's been a privilege to share their voices with our audience. We acknowledge the importance of our guests, particularly AJ Rice, whose connections have brought numerous influential figures to the show. A Community of Voices The list of guests we've had over the years is impressive, from authors like Barry Todd to activists like Gregory Lyakhov, emphasizing the diversity of perspectives shared on the podcast. For Mike, Interviewing Chris Salcedo was a personal highlight… to actually have the privilege of being able to communicate with him directly was one of his biggest experiences. As the conversation continues, we reflect on the growth of our podcasting journey, the challenges we've faced, and the connections we've made along the way. Closing Thoughts Looking back, we see how far we've come, but also how much there is still to explore. The podcast isn't just a platform for us; it's a community of voices coming together to discuss and dissect important issues. We look forward to what the next five years will bring, and invite listeners to join us on this journey. For the full conversation and more insights, watch or listen to the episode!

    2658 Drs Robert and Jill Malone - Scientists & Homesteaders

    NOTE: This is a reedited version of the interview, showing a better view of all participants than the previous version did. Mike and I had the honor of interviewing Drs. Robert & Jill Malone, authors of a new book, HOMESTEADING FOR HEALTH. The Malones had previously written and published PSYWAR; ENFORCING THE NEW WORLD ORDER, in 2024. In 2022, Dr. Malone wrote and published LIES MY GOVERNMENT TOLD ME. All three books are available on Amazon. As many of you may know, Dr. Malone, who developed the Test that was later used to "detect" Covid infections - a test he tried to warn was NOT appropriate for what it was being used (and abused) for; he became a voice in the wilderness fighting the methods used to deal with the Covid Shutdown and treatment of that disease, was persecuted by media, the Biden Administration, and the Globalist Left in general for speaking Truth. He was a true hero of the PLandemic. The Malones spoke with us about how the Food System in America is broken, and how Homesteading and Animal Husbandry can give Americans better, more nutritious food by growing and breeding their own. They talk about Hydroponics for apartment dwellers who don't have access to land; how they stay away as much as possible from sugar, and how and why they stopped being vegetarians (which they were for five years) and started eating red meat again, combined with intermittent Fasting, and Healthy breads (not the widely available commercial breads made with more than 4 ingredients). They discuss how cooking for yourself is healthier than ordering take-out . They also mention Homesteading Conferences, Homeschooling, and how Trades are (and will be) more important and higher-paying down the road than college-degreed positions. Talk eventually turned to the true origins of the Coronavirus that created the Covid PLANdemic and Global Shutdown, and how new lab leaks in Spain have allegedly unleashed African Swine Fever; also the result of Gain of Function testing, with the latter somehow connected to the USDA! Robert Malone mentioned the San Diego Hepatitis A problem years ago, the recent Hantavirus scare, and denounced what he terms "the Weaponization of Fear of Infectious Diseases" (courtesy of Government Agencies, Politicians, and Media). All in all a very instructive, enlightening, and enjoyable talk with two people who are not just "experts" in one field, but who both have a Stack of Skill Sets and Knowledge everyone can benefit from.

    Three Musketeers Speak

    After recording our last two Lofty Learning Lessons, Mike, Wende and I had a little conversation covering several topics, and generally having fun. It was shorter than our normal conversations, and includes a couple of Dad jokes, but I trust you will find the episode entertaining. Mike and Wende promote the Annual Book Sale at the Meuser Library, 1803 Northampton Road, Easton, PA, the weekend after Labor Day, on Saturday and Sunday, September 12-13. We Mention that Mike and I are scheduled to interview Dr. Robert Malone and his wife, Jill, who have written a new book, HOMESTEADING FOR HEALTH. The Malones had previously published PSYWAR; ENFORCING THE NEW WORLD ORDER, in 2024. As many of you may know, Dr. Malone was a voice in the wilderness fighting the methods used to deal with the Covid Shutdown and treatment of that disease, and persecuted by media, the Biden Administration, and the Globalist Left in general for speaking out. While the interview will concentrate mainly on their new book, we will definitely also talk about their precvious book AND of course about the Covid Shutdown, Fauci, et al...
